I have not seen it, but i would love to of course.

 
As far as I know it is still at the post-production stage. The first video blog (from early September) can be seen here: http://subterranea-movie.tumblr.com/

Personally, if it came to a choice of Wakeman or IQ, I'd choose to see IQ every time.



IQ have long been one of my favourite bands so I probably would have chosen IQ if I didn't already have the Wakeman tickets booked. However aside from the music, seeing RW also allows me to have an extended Bank holiday weekend in Bournemouth so I will have a lot of fun.Smile

I also could get to see IQ at Xmas as long as I can book not stupidly expensive accomodation in London at a time when hotels are heavily booked up. Any chance of that I wonderUnhappyTongue

^ Me too, especially as I've missed them the last 2 occasions they've played in my neck of the woods as I was on holiday both times, pretty unlucky.

Gig at Bury Met next October duly noted.  I will be there for sure this time Approve.

Forgive my lousy segue here, but since we are on the subject of IQ I was wondering if people here have heard of the very first IQ project before they became IQ really.

Check out THE LENS. :) was around from 1976-1979.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAtlVS7tQQo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This may tie some of you over if you haven't heard of this project by the band till 2014. :)
Looking forward to the new album. :)

good question. I would expect Ashley but have a vague feeling they split. Also not sure who will be doing the David Hemming's narration this time. Will be good whoever or whateverApprove

Exactly how I feel. This is what I call being caught between a rock and a hard place.
I'm torn really.

That's pretty damn unlucky Richard, what's the chances of that.

At least great news that the new album won't be too long. A repeat of the quality of Frequency will do very nicely thank you.

^ wow. You can't really ask for much more than that. I am honestly thinking about flying to the U.K to watch the show.

Man. So the box set includes a ticket to the show or is it a commemorative stub?
Boy. This boxset really works out if you live in the UK. Lol
